Climbers rescued on Mount Hood aided by treasure hunt box

I was reading my e-mail this morning and took notice of a news article listed in my weekly notification e-mail from GC.com.

It was a story about the two climbers recently rescued on Mt. Hood. It appears that rescuers were able to find them after the climbers happened to find a geocache that had the GPS coords inside it and the climbers were able to use their cell phones to give authorities their coords from the cache.

What a way to start geocaching, that is an awesome story, thanks paris1time for sharing this with everyone, putting the coords in the container is something I can't remember ever doing, sounds like a good practice in some parts of the world
